Overview
The current increase in respiratory disease due to infection with EV-68 may be a consequence of a misidentification of previous cases, attributed then to infections with rhinovirus, or simply due to improved case detection.[1] Until recently, the CDC reported a low prevalence of EV-68 infection, with a total of 26 cases in USA from 1987-2005, 11 of which occurring in 2003. Infection with EV-68 is more frequent in females and in children, although, more studies regarding the age incidence are required. Other countries in which recent cases of infection with EV-68 have been reported include: the Philippines, Japan, Netherlands, and Italy.
Prevalence and Incidence
EV-D68 infection is considered extremely rare. The true prevalence and incidence are not known.
USA
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports a total of 26 cases in USA between 1987 to 2005, 11 of which occurred in 2003 alone.[2] EV-D68 was reported in San Diego among military personnel in 2004-2005 and in New York City in 2009.
Philippines
During the period between October 2008 and March 2009, an outbreak of EV-D68 was detected in the Eastern Visayas region of the Philippines among pediatric patients hospitalized with pneumonia.[3]
Japan
In Japan, the first cases of EV-D68 were reported in 2005. From 2005 to 2010, less than 10 cases were discovered annually. However, almost 120 new cases occurred in 2010 alone. Most of the patients presented with an acute respiratory illness characterized by cough, breathing difficulty, or wheezing.[4]
Netherlands
In 2010, all patients with pneumonia and pneumonia-like symptoms were prospectively studied and their samples were sequenced. A total of 24 cases were attributed to EV-D68, 50% of which were less than 20 years of age.
Italy
Between 2008 and 2009, 12 cases of enterovirus 68 were reported in Italy among patients with viral respiratory infections.[5]
Age
- Approximately 80% of reported cases of EV-D68 infection occurred among children.
- The age at presentation ranges between 1 month to 78 years.
- Based on older data, the median age at infection is 4-5 years; but new reports are consistently revealing adult preponderance[6][1][7]
Gender
Race
- The prevalence of EV-D68 does not vary by race.
Geographical Distribution
Gender
- Enterovirus 68 infection has been reported with more frequency in females than in males. [8][9][5][10][11]
